Welcome to our Slingmeet event page, run by St Ives Sling Library & Support.
Who are we? St Ives Sling Library & Support is run by a group of volunteering mums who have a shared passion for all things babywearing. We have been running our Sling Library for number of years now and have all had experience of babywearing with our own children, as well as attending regular training courses to achieve Babywearing Consultant and Peer Supporter status ‘, in order to give you the best possible advice.
What is a “Slingmeet”? A Slingmeet is our monthly get together where we bring our ever expanding selection of baby carriers /wraps /slings to:
Moresk Centre, Kemp Close, Truro TR1 1EF
for you to explore, try on and hire out if you wish, just like you would a library book! It’s also a great place to get help with carriers you already own and meet like minded parents & careers!
How much does it cost to hire a carrier?
Hire fees are simply £10/month, for up to 3 months, with the exception of stretchy wraps which carry no hire fee at all.
If you are a low income family you may qualify for our “community carriers” scheme. Drop us a message for more information.
This is a much more sensible way of trying out a carrier before you choose the expense of buying one brand new ; they may look similar but the fit can vary wildly between brands /styles /fabrics.
Hire Fees can be paid by PayPal /Card /Cash. There is a cash machine a few minutes walk away if required. We also ask for a voluntary donation of £2 per family on the door, which helps towards our running costs and includes our support and advice.
We hope this answers some of your questions but please do not hesitate to contact us if there’s anything else you would like to know. We look forward to seeing you at one of our future events!
